Abstract
A job execution scheduling system and associated methods are provided for accommodating a request for additional computing resources to execute a job that is currently being executed or a request for computing resources to execute a new job. The job execution scheduling system may utilize a decision function to determine one or more currently executing jobs to select for resizing. Resizing a currently executing job may include de-allocating one or more computing resources from the currently executing job and allocating the de-allocated resources to the job for which the request was received. In this manner, the request for additional computing resources is accommodated, while at the same time, the one or more jobs from which computing resources were de-allocated continue to be executed using a reduced set of computing resources.
